Apo d9z1i. Us Munich Reader prefers Brand names regarding the endless discussion of Brand name products is. Cafes Brand and extra value cloth Ingli. Col. Charlie White is absolutely Correct Low priced clothing items Are found in abundance in the Exchange . Smart looking boys trousers for is Sio. Wash them once and they shrink 25 percent the color bleeds out and the scams fray and rip. Boys Crew socks Wash them once and they unravel and the toe scams come Loose. Waist and length sizes of boys trousers Are perfect but the Crotch is two sizes too Smalt. Ladies underwear the fabric pulls from the elastic Etc. Cafes will refund for any of these problems but this still leaves the customers unclothed. In my Opin Ion it is cheaper to Purchase the Brand names rather than what cafes offers.

An s broadcasting policy discussed recently on an television 1 caught the and of an interview with a brother of the late Ben Linder. Linder was killed in Nicaragua a year or two Back by the Contra. At Illinois slate University last year my Roommate and i went to a presentation to learn More about Central America put on by the global review Binder s father came up front and talked for an Houi on what a Good Little communist Ben was and How beautifully he and his family were treated by the communists when they went there and what an awful government we have Here in the United states. Ben Linder was warned to slay out of the area he was in. Rumor has it he was armed and dressed in his communist uniform. The students and instructor Gas Ped when some Guy graphically explained the holes in his head. That s when they started taking donations passing out garbage and actually enlisting students for voluntary summer jobs to help the communists in Nic setting record straight to set the record straight for a misprint in a recent article the Campus at Sacramento is California stale University or Csc Sacramento cuss. The University of California system is not the same As the California state University system. U of c runs on the Quarter system Csc on the semester system. I attended cuss through 1985. Amy padre co London Arangua. And the kids were signing on and the professors were donating my Roommate and i left. I can hardly see letting the Linder family preach their trash on any Campus but seeing or hearing them on an is equally revolting. Ben Linder has become a toot for the communists. Instead of giving them air Lime i say Export them South so they can become martyrs also. We Are training to defend the Linders right to free speech.
